Recognition Direct Still Reviews Your Banner Before Production
ChatGPT can help you create a concept, but we still review the order and send a proof before production. If the image is not print-ready, we will help clean it up and prepare it for production.
Step 3: Upload Photos
For the best results, upload files and tell ChatGPT how to use them.
- Upload player photos.
- Upload team logos.
- Upload business logos.
- Upload mascot artwork.
- Upload examples of designs you like.
- Tell ChatGPT: "Use the attached photos in the design."
Step 4: Ask for Changes
Once ChatGPT creates a design, you can continue refining it.
- Make the logo larger.
- Change the colors to black and gold.
- Remove the background.
- Add more baseball elements.
- Make the text easier to read.
- Leave room for sponsor logos.
- Move the photo to the center.
- Make it look more professional.
Tip: Be specific. The more clearly you describe the size, purpose, colors, style, photos, logos, and important design notes, the better your banner concept will be.
Step 5: Submit Your Design
Save the Image
When you are happy with the concept, save the image from ChatGPT.
Upload to Our Website
Upload the saved design, logos, photos, and any notes when you place your banner order.
We Check the File
If the image is not print-ready, we will help clean it up and prepare it for production.
Approve Your Proof
We will send a proof before production so you can review layout, spelling, and placement.
Pro Tip
For the best possible banner design, use this sentence at the end of every prompt:
Create a high-resolution, print-ready banner design with professional graphics, large readable text, and proper spacing for printing.
Why This Helps
This one line helps ChatGPT focus on professional graphics, readable text, and print spacing. It can dramatically improve the quality of the results.
Always review spelling, names, dates, phone numbers, and sponsor information before approving your proof.
